As spring career fairs bring government recruiters to campus, students at multiple institutions have pushed back against immigration‑agency recruiting amid aggressive federal deportation policies. Student protests and petitions have prompted some career centers to reconsider inviting agencies such as Customs and Border Protection to on‑campus recruitment events. In a high‑profile related legal episode, a Babson College student was deported to Honduras despite a court order preventing removal; the administration admitted the error but said returning the student was “unfeasible,” a stance that intensified calls for accountability. Separately, an immigration judge who is also a Tufts student secured a ruling that she cannot be deported, underscoring the legal entanglements between immigration enforcement and campus communities. These developments matter for career services, legal clinics and student‑affairs teams as they balance students’ job prospects, public safety concerns and legal protections. Universities must now craft policies on recruiter invitations, student legal support, and how to respond when federal actions intersect with campus populations. Clarification: Campus recruiting usually refers to employer visits and interviews organized by university career centers; controversy arises when government agencies whose enforcement policies are politically contested are invited to recruit.
